Marsaxlokk and Blue Grotto Full Day Tour with Local Guide

Leisure is the name of the game on Sunday mornings in Malta, and this shopping and sightseeing combo is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the authentic Maltese experience. You'll head to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk – widely regarded as one of the most picturesque spots in the country.

We kick off with some shopping in Marsaxlokk. This quaint fishing village hosts a large market down by the waterfront – make sure you check out the colourfully painted ‘luzzu' boats floating in the harbour. As well as freshly caught fish, there'll also be locally grown fruit and veg, Maltese wines, cold cuts, cheeses and leather goods.

Then we'll head to one of Malta's most famous natural sights – the Blue Grotto of Wied Iz-Zurrieq. It's a 50-metre deep natural cave with a huge arch that stretches out to sea. The caves get their name from the light reflecting off the water, which creates a dazzling blue colour. An optional boat trip into the grotto is available.
